ReplyDeleteI love how to steal a dog.I think Georgina did the right thing by taking Willy back home and not receiving the money. At least Georgina got a real home to live in even if she didn't get the money. I think that the book makes you think about how to treat people. I wonder what we are reading next?

ReplyDeleteya
DeleteJack, can you write more about the themes or lessons you think Georgina might have learned?
DeleteI am happy she got a home:)
ReplyDeletegeorgina kind of did the right thing. But she shouldn't have stolen a dog. I think she should have just wait until her mom got the money from her mom's job.
ReplyDeletetypo
DeleteGeorgina did not do the right thing in the first place. She should have learned her lesson to never ever steak anything.
DeleteI think that to.
DeleteHow did for Georgina's mom pay for Georgina's school? how did her mom get fired from the laundry mat?
ReplyDeleteGeorgina's mom must of forgotten to put starch on the cloths when they [visitors] ask her to.
DeleteShe got fired because she was always late.
DeleteGeorgina ended with the right thig in the book. She started with doing a terrible thing. But it was a great book and thats all i care about!
ReplyDeleteWhen did her dad leave her? Why did he only leave a couple dollars and cents?
ReplyDeleteand a mayonase jar??????????????
Deleteyeah why a mayo jar? Why not relish or ketchup?
DeleteI'm wondering that to.
DeleteI really like how to steal a dog and I learned never steal!! I wonder how she got the idea of stealing a dog? and why did she say "I sole your dog" to Carmella?
ReplyDeleteI think it was a bad thing she stole the dog because she could of gotten arrested or in big trouble.
ReplyDeleteAnd it was a good thing she told Carmela what she did.
ReplyDeleteyes
DeleteYES!!!!!!
DeleteI wonder if Georgina ever got to find a place for just her Toby, and her mom. And did her dad ever come back? I really like how Georgina told the truth, that was very brave of her and she could have just lied to Carmela but she told the truth. Although every thing ends the right way and that was the way she liked it.
ReplyDeleteVery thoughtful, Chloe! I have those wonders about Georgina's family too. Even though they don't have a home of their own, I'm glad we learned that they are safe and do have a place to live.
DeleteKate you really did write first.
ReplyDeleteyes
DeleteI really liked how to steal a dog I wonder if a girl has ever done this but with a cat or the same

DeleteWhy would you steal a cat when you could have your very own bunny?

DeleteI'm glad that Georgina finally made the right decision in the end.I wonder if Georgina still is ok with living in her new house.I also wonder if she will become greedy again and steal something else so she can have her own fancy apartment.That would be bad.
